The Stink Blasters product line was first launched in International markets in the Spring of 2003, with very strong sales successes in every market where it has been advertised. Stink Blasters figures and accessories are currently distributed in 31 countries. The brand was the #1 toy in the May NPD in Italy (ahead of Bratz dolls), and the #2 Boys line in Australia (behind Beyblades).

"We believe that Spin Master's successful record of marketing and advertising unique new products is a perfect fit for Stink Blasters and one that will help us take the brand to the next level," said Joe Morrison, CEO of MEG.
